Microsoft’s Windows 8.1 WIMBoot Lets You Install The OS In Only 3GB...
Microsoft just made it feasible to install Windows on a small capacity solid state drive (SSD) or hard drive with not much space left. Using a new deployment option called Windows Image Boot, or WIMBoot, users can install Windows 8.1 in just 3GB of space. This is an option that could come in handy if you're rocking a system with a 16GB SSD...

win32 10/01/2022 18:35
Yes... but depending on how big a scale you want the spoof to be (I know of the hack for iTunes), it could be difficult. I recently got the idea to make a "reference extended kernel" for 8/8.1 that wouldn't add anything but patch everything to allow mods like that. Just to prove it could be done in spite of the hardening of CI

ImSwordQueen 10/01/2022 18:36
what do you mean by "reference extended kernel"

win32 10/01/2022 18:37
A way of indicating what changes need to be made for an 8.x extended kernel to work. And that would prove that it is possible.

which ik is somehow related to explorer

because 8.0 is the first release where no explorer = no wallpaper

ok nvm somehow got it to fix itself

docR 11/02/2022 17:27
Notepad3 is just a continued version of Notepad2. Well. It's basically intended to replace Windows Notepad, and look and function almost the same. Just with some additions like line highlighting, zoom, word wrap, numbered lines. Lot of that is in Notepad on 10/11 tho
17:27
Notepad++ is more for coders because it has more features, but for basic use it feels a tad clunky to me

Try them both and pick your flavor I guess

Dialogue proportions aside, 8/8.1 is far gentler about connecting new devices and fetching generic drivers for them, which 7 honestly struggles to do. Even Vista

ltsb 2016 is pretty good, i do agree. but.... i wouldn't use it over 8.x. the driver model changed around 1703 or so, so 8.1 can actually run newer display drivers and such. it has a better interface than even ltsb with a better theme engine. i only use 10 for things that are just not possible with 8 or lower

i set the metro color to black, with blue selections. on lock screen, it applies. when i log out it goes back to purple windows 8 color trol
16:39
i think it happened once i added a keyboard layout
16:39
maybe windows 8 is acting as if theres another user account, and then it only loads my color once signed in

it was all a plot to frame steve balmer for his telemetry controversies in windows 7. with him gone, they could start on windows 10, and with everyone distracted about telemetry in windows 7, and no start menu navigation in 8: work on 10 and give it a menu to sway people there, all while taking a google-like approach to data collection

main issue is that certain programs react more slowly than on newer Windows

After Effects is the best example here

The UI was responsive in Windows 10 (not that smooth, but certainly usable)

anyways i tried 7's cpl and of course it doesn't work
22:55
why would it
22:57
this is the key

fuuuuckiing naaailed it

22:58
the formula is -15 * px
22:58
so if i want 21 px (edited)
22:58
-15 * 21 = -315
22:59
why the fuck microsoft
23:00
i think you also need to keep the border padding to -60
Image attachment
23:00
aka default
23:00
makes the back forward buttons look misaligned but the frame isn't fucked then
Image attachment
23:01
maybe i am tripping and they look correct
23:03
nah they are misaligned towards the right (edited)

ImSwordQueen 16/04/2022 23:10
Check if with 22 is still misaligned or not
Avatar
Vruh 2 16/04/2022 23:11
wym
23:11
you set the border to -45
23:11
and the border looks thin and cut out on the right and bottom
23:12
-60 matches windows 7 and the frame looks normal but the buttons are misaligned
23:12
why do i feel like the reflections should be more pronounced

Vruh 2 16/04/2022 23:19
becaaauuseeee
23:19
you used -45 for the border padding
23:19
that's why
23:19
it makes the frame thinner and truncates it slightly on the right and on the bottom
23:19
-60 is the default value
23:19
matches 7 perfectly
23:19
though has the misaligned back forward buttons

A little fun fact about 8.x start screen. The store, desktop and PC settings start screen colors are dictated by the shortcut instead of the app. and during windows 8.x development Microsoft started playing with colors for these icons. these shortcuts can reused on 8 and 8.1

you need 8.1's settings dat file
14:54
idk if 8.0 works i haven't tried it
14:54
but with 8.1's one it no longers locks up or do weird shit

music now works too but goes to the other ui instead....

that makes these apps work

how 2 debomb 8400 apps:
  • get a copy of windows 8.1
  • make an user account and open xbox games once.
  • go to "C:\Users[your user account here]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings"
  • copy settings.dat
  • go on 8400 or 9200 with 8400 apps installed.
  • go to "C:\Users[your user account here]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings" and replace the settings.dat file (repeat the process for music and video while keeping the same config.dat file)
  • optional step: delete UpdateAPP and UnsupportedAPP HTML and JS files from "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_1.0.810.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" (repeat the process for music and video)

Can you run IE11 on Windows 8?

If yes, how can I do that?

the 2021-02 iso includes everything needed to do so, just run the msu

how 2 debomb 8400 apps:
  • get a copy of windows 8.1
  • make an user account and open xbox games once.
  • go to "C:\Users[your user account here]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings"
  • copy settings.dat
  • go on 8400 or 9200 with 8400 apps installed.
  • go to "C:\Users[your user account here]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Settings" and replace the settings.dat file (repeat the process for music and video while keeping the same config.dat file)
  • optional step: delete UpdateAPP and UnsupportedAPP HTML and JS files from "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.XboxLIVEGames_1.0.810.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" (repeat the process for music and video)

Since there is a tool that alters window metrics

Also if you put uDWM from 990x to 9926, you will get windows 8 caption button width

So the signed/negative offset values would shift it to the left, while I presume 00-7F values of what seems to be a DWORD would shift it to the right.

because i'm pretty sure the position matches between basic and aero
